This was confirmed in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor.
The governor’s decision continues his tradition of supporting workers, following last year’s ₦100,000 bonuses offered to civil servants alongside his counterparts in Lagos and Rivers states to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal. Local government employees, who received ₦50,000 bonuses last year, are optimistic about receiving similar directives from their council chairmen this year.
